[Act VI – Calisto Talks to Celestina While Pármeno Chides Them to Sempronio]
-
Description
-
Once in Calisto’s house, Celestina begins telling him about her visit with Melibea (as depicted by the two leftmost figures). As she recounts Melibea’s rage and her return to calm, Calisto experiences intense mood swings and repeatedly interrupts her. Pármeno and Sempronio stand aside from them (as depicted by the two rightmost figures). Pármeno insults both Celestina and Calisto under his breath, and Sempronio grows frustrated with his comments, informing him that his opposition is hurting everyone involved. Celestina reveals Melibea’s girdle and tells Calisto that Melibea asked her to return the following day, bringing him great joy. As Celestina departs, Calisto tells Pármeno to accompany her and ensure her safe passage home. The three male figures are depicted wearing hats, while Pármeno and Sempronio also have swords mounted on their belts. Celestina is depicted wearing a robe and veil, with a rosary in her right hand.[The figures in this illustration are used in multiple other illustrations throughout this edition.]
